About

MeRae's is at 5852 NE 42nd Ave in Portland, and the business describes itself as a trichology hair clinic that also offers hair salon services. Hair loss and scalp care sit alongside cuts, color, and styling, so a client can address a concern and maintain their hair in the same place.

The salon is led by J. Marie, its owner, stylist, and founder and CEO, who has served the Portland community for more than 32 years. The mission, as the business frames it, is to raise awareness of hair loss and correct misunderstandings about its causes. The salon lists stress, thyroid function, hormones, birth control, diet and nutrition, medications, vitamin deficiency, and extreme weight loss diets among the primary causes, and says treatment options for men and women depend on which cause is involved.

Visits usually begin with a consultation. A Beauty Consultation is $25, while a Hair Loss Consultation starts at $175 and is a personalized, in-depth evaluation of hair and scalp concerns. A comprehensive consultation covers a scope analysis, a health assessment, a urine and saliva pH balance check, a review of medical history, and a nutrition and wellness plan. The salon notes that trichologists are not medically qualified and cannot prescribe medication, so clients are referred to a doctor when needed.

Treatment options include natural treatments such as light therapy, ozone therapy, and scalp detox. The salon describes these as free of Minoxidil and chemicals; light therapy is described as intended to stimulate hair growth, ozone therapy as meant to revitalize the scalp, and scalp detox as removing toxins and buildup. Clients can also choose treatment packages on 6-week, 8-week, or 12-week plans, plus a Holistic Hair Regrowth Treatment program, and microneedling is available.

On the salon side, the business says it works with curly, multi-textured, and natural hair. Services include natural and texture cuts, locs and protective style cuts with maintenance for Sisterlocks and traditional locs, flexi rod sets for defined curls, and style techniques using a flat iron and blow dryer. Color services cover permanent and demi-permanent color, highlights, root touch-ups, and corrective color. The business also hosts networking events as part of its community involvement.

Takes a holistic, science-based approach to hair loss and scalp care, building customized wellness treatment plans around each client's concerns. Trichologists are considered part of the paramedical field, and the salon states they cannot prescribe medication.

The salon describes its setting as a welcoming and confidential environment.
